Don Diablo & Example

Already getting as tidy bit of Radio1 airplay is ‘Hooligans’, the first single from Don Diablo & Example’s forthcoming album.

This is hardcore, bullshit free, boot stomping electro

There’s a lot of reMixes out there, here are three of my favourites and the original extended. Noisia ups the French House flavour a bit while Wire and A1 Bassline keep it strictly Dubstep:

New Heartsrevolution video!

With Kitsuné Music’s imminent release of their seventh Kitsuné Maison compilation, ‘The Lucky Ones’, Heartsrevolution have premiered the video for the song they have featured on the album.

Entitled ‘薔薇と彼女の王子’, which translates as ‘The Rose And Her Prince’ the tune is a bit of a departure from the usual happy noise terror we are used to with the Heart’s Challenger lot, it’s more downtempo, more chilled, but I am so in love with this track!

‘薔薇と彼女の王子’ is just one of the fantastic cuts on Kitsuné Maison 7 which is released June 1st.

Valerie And Friends

Tomorrow sees the release of the incredibly eagerly anticipated first compilation from the Valerie collective.

I can’t stress enough how team Valerie are producing some of the best synthesizer music around today, their particular take on Electro-House comes with a huge helping of retro 80’s cool. With a definite slant toward 80’s soundtracks (particularly of the straight-to-video teen/horror/action variety) you can’t help but imagine all the various acts involved hanging out and watching 80’s pulp movies before heading off to their studios

Featuring retro graphic design work, as usual, by The Zonders, the line up for the album is Minitel Rose, Anoraak, Jupiter, DVAS, College, Keenhouse, Electric Youth, Russ Chimes, Maethelvin, The Outrunners, Futurecop!, Moulinex & Press, Release, SymbolOne, Xinobi, Narctrax, Loose Shus and Steve Moore.

Here are Futurecop! and Russ Chimes’ contributions; both great examples of the Valerie sound and what to expect on this record, soaring leads, disco beats and crazy arpeggios…

♫ Futurecop! – Eyes Like The Ocean (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Russ Chimes – Daytona (zShare) (MediaFire)

You can view the whole tracklist and listen to the album streaming here.

The Valerie gang are soon launching their new site, ValerieCollective, and ‘Valerie and Friends‘ is released May 27th on ESR.

New Simian Mobile Disco!!!

Electro dance superstars Simian Mobile Disco are now starting the approach phase for the release of their second album, ‘Temporary Pleasure’, which is due out August 17th and will feature guest appearances by the likes of Beth Ditto, Jamie Lidell, Alexis Taylor & Telepathe.

It looks like this track, ‘Audacity Of Huge’, graced with the vocals of Yeasayer’s Chris Keating, will be the lead in single. Give it a listen, it’s a pretty fantastic mix of SMD’s hypnotic Electro-House and 80’s rock style vocals.

‘Audacity Of Huge’ is released August 3trd.

The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…

The Shoes reMix Golden Silvers and Alex Braxe takes on Fenech-Soler. there a new reMix of Little Boots’ ‘Stuck On Repeat’ by DJ Adamix & Oli Freke whilst Hervé goes crazy on Depeche Mode’s next single. We end as we started with Phoenix, this time reMixed by Holy Ghost!. The circle is now complete!

Frankmusik gets the Don Diablo treatment

Don Diablo is a reMix machine! The man must work 24 hours a day, he churns out quality reMix after quality reMix. His newest subject is Frankmusik, with a reMix of his forthcoming single ‘Confusion Girl’

A departure from Don’s usual bangers this reMix is a groovin’ epic that will have your head nodding and toes tapping with some interesting use of guitars on top of the synth work as Mr. Diablo plays fast and loose with Vincent’s vocals.

A perfect summer evening track.

♫ Frankmusik – Confusion Girl (Don Diablo Loves To Slowdance reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

The ‘Confusion Girl’ single drops July 6th.

Beaumont

We really liked Beaumont’s reMix of Ladyhawke that we posted here so when an email full of the man’s tunes landed in the electronic rumors Inbox we were more than interested.

Beaumont has a cool sound; a Valerie-esq retro Electro flavour with an infusion of 8-bit video game noises. What more could you ask for?

We’ve got three of his tracks here, all of them top quality Nu-Disco, with sharp FM lead lines, fat analog basses and that slight 80’s soundtrack feel that always works so well.

Beaumont’s use of bit crunched beeps and blips definitely set him apart from the pack.

♫ Beaumont – Neon Dawn (Intro. Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Beaumont – Last Night (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Beaumont – Recital (zShare) (MediaFire)

Beaumont also dropped his reMix of Empire Of The Sun’s ‘We Are The People’, a chord driven retro epic.

Go show Beaumont some MySpace love this minute!

Røyksopp & Robyn’s Robot Released

I had absolutely no doubt that Røyksopp and Robyn’s ‘The girl And The Robot’ would be the next single off their fantastic album ‘Junior’.

It’s easily one of my favourite tracks of this year so far, everything an ElectroPop track should be. ‘Cos it’s so good we have a treat for you here in the shape of four of the reMixes from the forthcoming single. Kris Menace, Joakim, Château Marmont & Ocelot all bring various strains of Nu-Disco and Electro to their versions, each one a gem in it’s own right.

Now you’ve heard these 128kbps samples you can be saving your pennies to by the full blown single when it comes out!

‘The Girl And The Robot’ is released June 22nd on Wall Of Sound.

Damn Arms get the SexWax treatment

Ozzie reMix factory DJ SexWax has done it again with this reMix of Damn Arms’ hit ‘Destination’.

Much like his previous, this reMix is a top notch job. What we have here is a monster Disco stormer full of vocoders and screaming synth solos. The beat is infectious like swine flu!

♫ Damn Arms – Destination (SexWax reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

It appears Empire Of The Sun are SexWax’s next target! Keep ‘em coming!

The ‘Destination’ single is available now on Bang Gang Records
